Thanks for the useful tip. I just played with this and found a couple of other useful things:

- You don't need the cast and the dereference if the pointer is already of the correct type, i.e. you can just say foo@256.

- The array size after the @ can also be a variable, e.g. foo@foo_length.

Cool.

Yes indeed:

create a new expression, using the var@len syntax, examples:

For an integer array named foo:

*(int *)foo@256


For a float array named rootBeer:

*(float *)rootBeer@64



This will expand in the expressions window, with a disclosure triangle so you can collapse it, if desired. The length is simply however many you want to display -- even beyond the actual array bounds if you use a number that is larger than the array depth.


Happy, happy, joy, joy, -Rick
